6Product OverviewIntroduction
D-Link DCS-7110 is an all-in-one, outdoor network camera equipped with industry-leading high definition (HD) megapixel resolution
and H.264 compression. The DCS-7110 connects to a network to provide high-quality live video over the Internet. This camera is
capable of capturing video in both dark and light environments thanks to its built-in IR LEDs and IR-cut removable (ICR) filter. The ICR
filter can be manually applied via the web, or set to automatically adjust based on lightning conditions. This feature allows the camera
to capture crisp color images during the daytime and detailed grayscale images at night or in or low-light conditions.
The included D-Link D-ViewCam‚ĄĘ is sophisticated software which allows users to manage up to 32 network cameras, set e-mail alert
notifications, create recording schedules, and use motion detection to record directly to a hard drive. D-ViewCam‚ĄĘ also allows users to
upload a floor plan to create a realistic layout of the premises where cameras are located, further simplifying the management process.

Protocol: disable, basic, and digest. If basic authentication is selected, the
password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being
intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted
using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized

simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming
source. If you want to use an RTSP player to access the camera, you have
to set the video mode to H.264 / MPEG-4 and use the following RTSP URL
command to request transmission of the streaming data.Multicast and Unicast Streaming Protocols
You may choose to enable multicast or unicast for your camera audio and
video streaming so that your cameras (sources) and the receivers (clients)
can establish the connection to send and receive contents.
Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point
transmission. Multicast, on the other hand, sends a stream to the multicast
group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same
time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore,
enabling multicast can effectively save network bandwidth.
An IP Multicast group address is used to send and receive content. Sources
use this group address as the destination address while sending their data
packets. Receivers use this group address to inform the network that they are
interested in receiving packets sent to that group.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast
RTP port must be an even number, and the multicast RTCP port number is
the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is always odd. When the
multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly.
Multicast TTL [1~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells
the router the range a packet can be forwarded.

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x which
is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary
switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x
setting.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area
networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients)
attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between
client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled. If
authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an
existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate
communication.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:
1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x,
please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your
company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server.
2. Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN.
Open the configuration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-
PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your
ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).
3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by
connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the
authentication automatically.QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which
guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality
of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient,
especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be
defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet
dropping, etc.
D-Link DCS-7110 User Manual
49ConfigurationThe following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:
The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to
the data flow.
The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and
thus provide higher reliability and stability on the network.Requirements for QoS:
To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be
met:
‚ÄĘ All network switches and routers in the network must include support for
QoS.
‚ÄĘ The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.CoS
IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is
called CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header,
which indicates prioritization from 0~7 (Eight different classes of service are
available). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use
different queuing disciplines to forward the packets.
Please follow the steps below to enable CoS settings:
1. Click Enable CoS
2. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095)
3. Choose the priority for each application (0~7).Note:
‚ÄĘ The VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. The web browsing may fail if the
CoS setting is incorrect.
‚ÄĘ Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms
of bandwidth and delivery time. They only offer a "best-effort." Users
can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" traffic control and QoS as "finely-
grained" traffic control.
‚ÄĘ Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer
end-to-end guarantees since it is based on L2 protocol.

50ConfigurationQoS/DSCP
DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated
Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing
disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the
DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point). This is a 6-bit field that provides
64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be
forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a
particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queuing theory, and dropping
(discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify
packets according to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding
treatment. For example, how much bandwidth should be reserved.
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which
guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality
of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient,
especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be
